I'm interested in setting up a keyboard shortcut that will launch the graphical user interface for Gnome Screenshot. I am however unable to find the command that launches the GUI.
Executing gnome-screenshot simply takes a screenshot, which is not what I am interested in.
You may look for interactive mode
man gnome-screenshot
-i, --interactive
Interactively set options in a dialog.
Use:
gnome-screenshot -i
More generally, to get command for a GUI launcher in menu, look for its .desktop file. Example:
more /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Screenshot.desktop
Where we see:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Screenshot
Comment=Save images of your screen or individual windows
(...)
Exec=gnome-screenshot --interactive # <-- here it is!
(...)
Or use MenuLibre tool.
Update: As of v41 (November 2021), the path to the .desktop file for Gnome Screenshot was changed from /usr/share/applications/gnome-screenshot.desktop in the original answer.
